Problem creating shared object library that references another

[Glen Cordrey]

I am attempting to create a .so that contains code that uses another .so.
Following directions found on the web I am doing

gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libbar_java.so bar.o libfoo.so -o
libbar_java.so

where bar contains code that depends on libfoo.so. However, this command
reports

ld: warning: option -o appears more than once, first setting taken
ld: fatal: file libBondCalculator.so: unknown file type
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to libBondCalculator.so
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I am using version 2.95.2 of gcc on Solaris. I've noticed that the man page
for gcc doesn't
list soname as an option.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
